Scary. So next time you pirate something, realize that you're helping move music, movies and software to what is mentioned in the last paragraph. |

QUOTE(dasturbd @ Jun 21 2004, 3:25 PM) as far as the last paragraph goes...I can see why they would turn to advertising to make up for loss in sales, but honestly you can advertise all you want and it's really not going to influence me one way or the other to run out and buy the product. It's not like on my 20th ad for Coca-cola I don't want any and on the 21st ad I miraculously just HAVE TO HAVE IT!! ya know?? I think you might have missed the point. Max Barry is saying, books, movies, software and music will be given out for free, but they are going to be laced with ads. Would you like to read a book that had an advertisement on every other page? I don't, but it's already happening.. Do you want to watch a movie, only to have it interrupted every 10 mins for an ad? I wouldn't, but it's already happening. Do you want to listen to a cd, only to have an ad play every few songs? Me neither, but it's already here. Magazines, TV and Radio. 24/7. No escape. |
